[Intro]
Am Am Am Am
[Verse 1]
Am G
Now Jack he was a punk around the age of 27
Am E7
When he thought he'd give his bad blood a run.
Am G
Well he took his silver dollar, spat a curse upon his pa,
Am E7 Am
And off he set a-carryin' his gun.
[Verse 2]
Am G
This Jack he was known in the town of Carson Gap
Am E7
For bein' a wild and vicious man.
Am G
When he stepped up and ordered a whiskey double shot,
Am E7 Am
It was set there with a pale and tremblin' hand.
[Chorus]
C D
Oh the sound of a train in the cold of the night
C D
Is a sound that tears at my soul
C D
‘Cause when-ever I hear that train whistlin' down,
Am E7 A Am
I remember killin’ Jack Drin-go.
[Instrumental verse]
Am G Am E7 Am G Am E7 Am
[Verse 3]
Am G
Jack was gettin' mean and liquored, and his bar bill was unpaid
Am E7
When he saw my little Peggy at the door.
Am G
Well, I swore if he took another step towards my gal,
Am E7 Am
I'd kill him and stretch him on the floor.
[Verse 4]
Am G
There are those who do not blame me for doin' what I done,
Am E7
But the Sherriff was a-lookin' to the law.
Am G
As Jack was a-makin' for my Peggy at the door,
Am E7 Am
I blasted out his brains and watched him fall.
[Chorus]
C D
Oh the sound of a train in the cold of the night
C D
Is a sound that tears at my soul
C D
‘Cause when-ever I hear that train whistlin' down,
Am E7 A Am
I remember killin’ Jack Drin-go.
[Verse 5]
Am G
The rest of my story doesn’t have to be told.
Am E7
It's the story of a man on the run.
Am G
Every time I catch a train a-movin’ further on,
Am E7 Am
I know this cursed chase is almost done.
[Chorus]
C D
Oh the sound of a train in the cold of the night
C D
Is a sound that tears at my soul
C D
‘Cause when-ever I hear that train whistlin' down,
Am E7 A Am
I remember killin’ Jack Drin-go.
[Outro-fade]
A Am A
